Create Storage

coolify_create_storage

Add a persistent volume or bind mount to an application, database, or service. Specify container mount path and optionally a host bind-mount path.

Instructions

Add a persistent volume or bind mount to an application, database, or service.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
nameYesStorage name
uuidYesResource UUID
revealNoReveal redacted secret values in the response (default false; the call is audited)
instanceYesREQUIRED — which Coolify instance to mutate: 'prod' (Hetzner VPS) or 'dev' (local OrbStack VM). No default: state the target explicitly so a write never lands on prod by accident.
resourceYesResource type that owns the storage
host_pathNoHost bind-mount path (omit for named volume)
mount_pathYesContainer mount path (e.g. /data)
Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations indicate readOnlyHint=false (mutation) and openWorldHint=true. The description does not add behavioral context beyond the action, such as side effects or permissions, but it does not contradict annotations. With annotations present, this is acceptable but could be improved.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single concise sentence with no fluff. It is appropriately front-loaded, but could be slightly more structured with additional details without becoming verbose.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given 7 parameters (5 required) and no output schema, the brief description does not adequately explain the difference between persistent volumes and bind mounts, or how host_path interacts. More context is needed for a create tool with this complexity.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema coverage is 100% for parameter descriptions, so the schema already documents parameters. The description adds no extra meaning beyond the schema, meriting the baseline score of 3.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the action 'Add' and the resource type 'persistent volume or bind mount' to an application, database, or service. It is specific enough to distinguish from sibling tools like delete_storage, though the description does not explicitly reference siblings.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives such as coolify_update_storage or coolify_list_storages. There is no mention of prerequisites, contexts, or exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
